We said: With the exception of Mazda‘s Miata, has any car ever punched above its weight like this? Mortara, for one, doesn’t think so. “If price were a factor, the BRZ would win this competition hands-down. This car, like the Miata, proves you don’t need a monster engine to be a great driving car. The clutch and shifter are perfect. I really can’t find any faults with this car. Everything about it works great. After the driving loop, I had to laugh about the BRZ going out last because it was deemed the ‘slowest.’ Maybe out of the gate, but once you’re in the turns, this Subaru feels just as fast as the rest.” Adds Evans, “Man, this little thing is good. Chassis control is fantastic. Pedals are perfect for heel and toe. Great, super-precise steering. The throttle feels like it has a cable. Just so good. Anyone could learn a thing or two driving this car.” MacKenzie concurs, noting, “The BRZ will teach you the most about driving fast. You’ll learn not to waste momentum, to be economical with the brakes, and be precise with your lines. Be fast in this car and you’ll be fast in anything.”

The hot-shoe’s take: Fabulous car! Oh my God! I mean, really just a wonderful and satisfying experience. I feel like I can just drive this car right on the edge of the friction circle. It reminds me a lot of my all-time favorites, the MX-5 — first-gen, second-gen or third-gen. In some ways, it’s actually better. It doesn’t have the roll that the MX-5 has had all along. What a satisfying ride in terms of…everything.
